The Twitterati went mental as Virat Kohli scored his 31st ODI hundred overtaking Ricky Ponting's number of 30 centuries. But Tom Latham (103*) and Ross Taylor (95) crashed Kohli's party as they chased down a record target of 281 at the Wankhede and took the early lead in the 3-match series.
Brief scores: India 280/8 (Virat Kohli 121, Dinesh Karthik 37; Trent Boult 4-35, Tim Southee 3-73) LOST to New Zealand 284/4 (Tom Latham 103*, Ross Taylor 95; Hardik Pandya 1/46, Jasprit Bumrah 1/56) by six wickets.
Here are the funny tweets from the game:
Special game for the special player!
Whether it's the public or photographers, the focus is always on Kohli

Boult strikes early!
Piss poor innings from Rohit Sharma. Felt like he was under the misconception that its another IPL game at Wankhede.

What a brilliant 121 this one was. 280 is a fighting total.
Got to feel for Rohit Sharma!
Virat is official Captain. Dhoni is actual captain. Rohit Sharma is virtual vice captain.
